    When I purchased my quarter panel last fall I got a call afterwards telling me their shipping calculator wasn’t adding the truck charge or residential surcharge. Shipping to the local Duluth FedEx depot was $175. If I wanted it delivered to my house it was an additional $190.

    That sounds more what I would expect. Doug's offer is a great Idea for anyone going to the Nationals.

    I got a call from Tabco this morning. The guy said there were dozens upon dozens of 68-69 as well as 70-72 0nes.I asked about the $30 dollar shipping and he stated it was incorrect. He figured shipping from him in the Cleveland area to me in Central Pa would be about $160.

    Ask about shipping to a local freight terminal, where you could pick it up.

    I did that with mine years ago and the shipping was way cheaper.

    The man I spoke with said they have to send to a business,a Fed Ex terminal or be picked up. He is also sending me a sample panel to repair the front edge of the trunk drops. I am to compare it to the stock one I have and get back to him. It will cost me nothing.

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    Shipping to a commercial address in Seattle is $230(both sides). They are on the way and should be here next week. interested to see how they look. Apparently made in Ohio, according to the Tabco person on the phone. They seem like a great outfit to deal with, so I hope the parts are nice.

    Still $385 cheaper than The Parts Place.

    Thats a good price on shipping, they are large parts. They are a pretty nice. They need alot of trimming but thats a good thing so you can trim how you'd like. They are sold from tabco in ohio but stamped at a company in Michigan, thats what he told me when i picked mine up. The company is located on a dead end street in an area of old abandoned buildings with windows and doors broken out I think their building is the only one still open.

    He did say that they have recently changed stampers, as the company that had been doing it switched over to other work.,
